Analyzing the beneficial effects of investments in information technology (IT) is an area of research that interests investors and academics. A number of studies have examined whether investments in IT have a positive effect on some measure of earnings or other form of financial return. Results from these studies have been mixed. This paper extends the literature by adopting an investor\u2019s perspective on firm performance when IT investments are made, using the preservation of capital as a performance measure. The authors examine companies that made public announcements of their investments in technology to see if they were able to mitigate losses to investors by reducing their downside risk to investors. This study further discusses whether different types of IT investments have different impacts on firm risk from an investor\u2019s viewpoint. Findings suggest that IT investments impact a firm\u2019s downside risk, and the authors offer an alternative perspective on the benefits of IT investments, particularly where no positive incremental financial results are evident.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jitr.2011070101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,13]],"date-time":"2012-01-13T16:24:25Z","timestamp":1326471865000},"page":"1-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Effects of Investments in Information Technology on Firm Performance"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nevada, Reno, USA"}]},{"given":"Kevin E.","family":"Dow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alaska, Anchorage, USA"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jitr.2011070101-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anderson, K., Brooks, C., & Katsaris, A.
